Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history.

The rumors we heard yesterday were true. Many federal webpages have gone dark or have been heavily modified. It's been nonstop texts/calls with public health colleagues trying to make sense of it all. @katherinejwu.com did a great job capturing the chaos of today. www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
